Course Overview:

The fundamental rights of victims and non-combatants during the times of armed conflicts are protected by the International Humanitarian Law. Conflicts and wars have become very complicated thanks to the advances in tools and weapons of war, as well as the tactics that are used to terrify a population through media-driven propaganda, and by creating headlines.

This course is carefully designed to help you and your staff members to write proposals that are not only convincing but stand out and get you the attention you need for humanitarian intervention which needs funding, or for responding to a request for proposals. Highlighting and demonstrating your added value can be quite an endeavor in the stiff competition each organization faces with every proposal.

This course helps you in crafting proposals that stand out and attract the right amount of attention.

Attracting and retaining long-term support from donors is one of the most important areas a relief or development mission is completely dependent upon. This course is designed to prepare the participants by improving their capacity in acquiring and nurturing this support through effective management of donor relations. They will learn on how to develop a fundraising strategy, writing effective fundraising proposals, and managing grant contracts and the relations with the donors.

All humanitarian organizations strive to improve the quality and effectiveness of responding to all kinds of emergencies and the complexities that arise with each. Not only do all emergencies come with complexities of different types but also require timely interventions to deliver a maximum impact. Hence, careful monitoring of all the processes from strategizing to decision making and implementation of changes on the ground is very important.

This course is designed to focus on internal and external project evaluation and introduce tools that are used to measure and improve the performance of projects. The participants follow a step by step approach for the understanding of the process of designing and performing an evaluation.
